Hmm well i think the combination of Japanese games and of course anime has made me interested in Japanese culture which probably extended out to all(well many) Asian culture(s).
But it's hard to say as many Asians live here and i went to school with many and work with many and i like cricket (big in some parts of Asia such as India and etc).
So i guess there are multiple reasons as to why i have interests in Asian cultures.

But yeah a lot of people i know cant tell the difference between the different Asian races, usually not gamers or anime fans or just dont play Japanese games.

I dropped out of school during year 11 so i wouldn't say that iam well educated in that regard.

I think gaming has has SOME negative impact. More so being anti social at times and probably not being physically active at times.

Guess i read on my pc and phone and in video games a lot but not books or manga, I used to draw, i go to the cinema sometimes but not that much.

There's no doubt that being a gamer my whole life has been educational though. And lead me to learn about computers and how to build them and I've tried to educate myself a lot. Learn about a number of things a lot.
